The Last Red Note

I sewed more red blocks last weekend and added a new block.

This is Jericho Wall block. The Stash Buster Challenge 2022 by Border Creek Station chose this wonderful block. It's a new to me block and I'm enjoying sewing it. The solid burgundy squares at the corners are a constant colour. I have so much of that fabric that I'm sure I have enough for the entire quilt. The black in the middle is another constant colour. I'm using up a lot of white and beige scraps for the rest of the block. I couldn't resist adding it to my list of blocks for RSC. 

Funny enough, the UFO I have to work on during the month of Aqua is also a block presented by Border Creek Station. In my Rainbow UFO Challenge list, I left the colour Aqua empty as I didn't know what to work on. I have now named Spinner as my project for this month. I'll show you what I did during January Rainbow UFO Challenge in another post. 

There are too many quilts I want to make and receiving more fabric from friends only spurs my mojo to sew more and more. I am done sorting all the boxes and bags I received last week. Every single colour basket is overflowing. 

The long strips on top of the middle seat are the fabric I wanted to sew first, turning them into fast 9-Patch blocks. This morning, I can't find them. They must be under another pile of scraps as I don't know where to store all of this anymore. They'll pop up eventually. 

The 9-Patch on the left is my regular 9-Patch block finishing at 3 inches. The one on the right will finish at 6". No, it's not another project I started. Those pieces (4 reds and 6 golds) were already cut at 2.5" and I just thought they looked good together. There's a  little Beijing vibe in there, no? (or are the Olympics influencing my vision?) Anywho. 

I started on the Aqua blocks too. 

I did two solid fabric blocks but the white in the second one shrunk during ironing. That white fabric is now expelled from the scrap bin. 

Thanks to Cheryll for having me over on Friday night for the FNwF (Friday Night with Friends) for a little bit of sewing. I did these. :^D

I should have quit after the first block as sewing when I'm tired is never a good idea. 

My first blooper of the year. I was doing so well that I thought I was NEVER going to sew another blooper again! Hahaha. Silly girl. 

That's it for now. 

Hope you are all well and warm.
